      Pros

      -Small department where you can learn an immense amount of knowledge. -Amazing maternity leave

      Cons

      -They do not invest in their employees -They do not invest in technology and moving forward -They won't spend money to hire senior people. Instead, they hire young people without managerial experience which results in micromanaging, no mentoring, etc.

      Pros

      Creative and often very committed people, laid back environment. When the going gets rough, there can be heartfelt comradery at work with your closest peers. The company wants to engage with kids, and teachers, parents, and children know it: and that's a wonderful thing.

      Cons

      A bit chaotic, and sometimes more than a bit. Need better financial, personnel controls. Far too much reliance on temps (same people for years and years), contractors. Here's an idea: how about an employee handbook? Need for better integration and planning across units. Need better IT, HR, and data services. Less cliquishness, more professional collaboration. More focus on the mission and improve quality of book products (cut down on junk sold through Clubs & Fairs).

      Pros

      Great work life balance, some people are great to work with.

      Cons

      horrible management, politics, no room to become a Vice President with my expertise. CTO only hires from Pearsons because he knows nothing.
